Back by popular demand, The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition faithfully re-imagines the internationally-acclaimed classic game (originally released in 1990) for original and new audiences alike. The development team at LucasArts is bringing the game into the modern era with an all new re-imagined contemporary art style, a re-mastered musical score, full voiceover, and an in-depth hint system to help players through the game’s side-splitting puzzles. Purists will also delight in the ability to seamlessly switch between the updated hand-drawn re-imagining and the original classic version.
The game's twisty plot leads our naive hero on a hilarious, swash-buckling search for the fabled secret of Monkey Island. Tales of pirate wealth lure him to the port of Mêlée with high hopes, no money, and insatiable curiosity. If clever enough, he will win the confidence of Mêlée's pirates and find himself blown by the winds of fate toward the terrifying and legendary Monkey Island -- an adventure that would chill the bones of even the most bloodthirsty buccaneer.
Relive the swashbuckling humorous misadventures of the wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood

Horrendous remake
Very very ugly remake of one of the most loved and charming adventure games ever made. Also, it is very uncomfortable to play because of a strange pop up interface for verbs and objects. Buy it only if you have no other way to get your hands on the original, and plan to play this in F10 (classic) mode.

Just get the originals not updated ver
The new art style looks like it's been done by 1st year students or ... actual monkeys perhaps. It's absolutely awful and ugly, loses all the atmosphere and feeling of the original. Monkey Island is also better without actual speech in many's opinion, because when we all played the original, it was perfect to the voices we gave characters in our minds. :)

Classics demanding Win10?
I don't know why games that lived on DOS or Win95 think they can force me to use some junkware like Win10, especially when I can just get the original and run an emulator. A game like this isn't worth the headache of running a VM, IMO. Game companies need to reach the largest audience, not cooperate with forced obsolescence.

This game should not exist
I read so many good things about this game and decided to play it by myself. I never played such a bad adventure game. You have to go to same scenes over and over again. Almost everything seems to be just random clicking. Dialog choices so often makes no sense. (For example the swordmaster fight) This game is so lame and boring I have no words for such a crap. If it was a book it must be burned.
